Landlord's goons watched American training video beforehand.
Disputes between landlords and renters over rent increases are becoming
more frequent. In Başakşehir, Istanbul, Hasan Eğilmez (46), who has
been renting a flat for three years, has been paying 30,000 TL (about
$1,100) per month for the past year. When his landlord demanded that
Eğilmez pay 100,000 TL (!) (about $3,700) per month, Eğilmez
countered that the going rent rate in his apartment complex is 35,000 TL
so he offered his landlord 40,000 TL as his new rent rate.
The evening before last, Eğilmez and the landlord got into an argument
in front of the complex about the rent issue. Later in the evening the
landlord returned with 5-6 others who attacked Eğilmez with baseball
bats. Eğilmez was injured on his head and body by the blows and taken
to a hospital by a friend. With the doctor's report, Eğilmez then went to
a police station to file a complaint about the landlord and his goons.
Eğilmez related the incident as follows: "there were guys with baseball
bats waiting for me and one of them even had a gun to intimidate me
with. Five or six of them jumped me and smacked me with baseball bats
four or five times. When the security guards tried to intervene the goons
went after them. I won't relent on seeking justice!"
Not a baseball fan.
